I just bought a 2019 GTI this past weekend. I can’t find the vehicle odometer anywhere except in the center screen right after I turn the car off. Where can I find it while the car is running?

Are you leaving the cruise control activated all the time. The cruise control icon covers the odometer when it's on unless the 19's are different.

I hate this. Odometer should never be hidden.

I agree. It's stupidly annoying.

Does anyone know if the Mk7 hatch and variant (sportswagon) tail lights are physically the same size?

I want to upgrade to Mk7.5 tail lights but all the ones I've seen say they it won't fit.

I don't have a Mk7 hatch to compare them too but to me they look the same.

Does anyone know what the "increase engine responsiveness" OBDeleven app does? I just got the dongle yesterday, so I'm pretty new to the whole thing. I get that it says it changes the engine coding to what Audi's have but do you guys know exactly what this does and if it voids the warranty or anything like that? I've attached a screenshot below. Thanks in advance.

Probably same thing as this:

I thought the same until I noticed that the direct acceleration tweak was listed as a separate app :/

 

[Strange Mud]

idk but would bet that all it does is make accelerator a bit more responsive. It won't really be faster just less go pedal required for same speed. I haven't seen any OBD mods that void wtty unless you mess up the programing changes. w/o insulting do a record of everything (baseline) before you change anything.

I have a mk7.5 gti. What is the difference between Koni Yellows and Koni FSD? Will they both work on a mk7.5?

Yellow's have adjustable rebound, nicely paired with a moderate drop. I would go with FSD for comfort.

Stage 2 GTI running the plugs the tuner recommends over a 100+ mile highway drive. Anything to be concerned about?

What app/services do folks use for forum purchases? I’ve read why not to use PayPal or venmo, so what do you use? I’ve used both for small purchases but now the stakes are getting higher e.g. used Cobb AP. Any help is appreciated!
